A couple of weeks ago, I read (and was moved by) this:

And last year, I was inspired by this:

So I woke up early today to check out the Saturday Class of Marikina City Youth. I had fun taking pictures of young girls who enjoyed dancing ballet (I didn't ;p)

God Bless Victor Ursabia. I can't wait to go back soon

Taking dance photos is very tricky. I had a hard time this morning. What speed do you recommend for Jeté? argh

You might want tp e-mail Victor :) since today (January 14) is his 15th Wedding Anniv.

Cool you used to be a ballet dancer? I stopped at 10 years old. I hated it. But I was a PBT and Ballet Philippines Junkie because of my Lola.

inspiring!

Why don't you guys know about this? I thought they always performed at some Teatro in Marikina

I know this is an old thread but I'm glad I found it. Tammy, could you please contact me via email? (klejarde @ yahoo.com) I dance at a local studio here in the States and they have an ENORMOUS lost-and-found bin of discarded ballet shoes. I'm wondering if you could email me a contact phone or address or email so that I might possibly send the shoes over to Victor Ursabia. Thank you.

Hi Kalay. I just sent you a message. Sorry I hardly check DPP nowadays. Victor (who is also a photographer) would be delighted!

Thank you so much, Tammy! I need to share your pictures with my friends. We are all alums from St. Scho Marikina.

thank you tammy! if you have time... hope you visit my photo gallery.
